Nuits-Saint-Georges
Premier Cru "Aux Perdrix"

Terroir

We own 99% of this Premier Cru located on a limestony and clay soil with a clay predominance. They are 3.50 hectares (8.66 acres) of vines in the South of Nuits-Saint-Georges on a smooth and south facing slope. One of the most beautiful and qualitative Premier Cru of the Appellation

Winemaking and Aging

Grapes are harvested in leaky boxes and sorted out. They are destemmed and put in tanks. Punching of the cap is made during alcoholic fermentation, without pumping over.
Fermentation lasts between 15 and 20 days then wine is put in oak barrels, after a light settling of the juice, for a period of ageing included between 12 and 18 months.
Wine making and maturing are carefully followed by Robert Vernizeau, a talented winemaker.
